An illustrated love that inspired a generation of great writers like Virginia Woolf and Patricia Highsmith

In 1899, Natalie Barney meets one of the loves of her life: Pauline Tarn, better known by her poet name, Renée Vivien. Only after an abrupt breakup, and with the intention of winning back her affection, does she write Recuerdo in 1904, a work that would be published anonymously in 1910, after Renée’s death. Natalie Barney explores every facet of their relationship, from their first meeting among the roses of the verses in the poem Lasitud to the acceptance of defeat.

Exceptionally modern, this lyrical prose celebrates the visibility of lesbians in the belle époque, an era that opened a range of freedoms. It is an ode to the very nature of love and to the figure of the beloved, moving on the edge of dream, weariness, death, and hope. Of that romance between these two women, all that remains today is this Recuerdo…
